WE ARE absolutely thrilled to share that Ibstock has been named both the ‘Investment’ winner and the ‘Overall Winner’ at the inaugural Midlands Sustainability Excellence Awards — a fantastic recognition of the work we are doing across the Midlands and beyond.

The awards, created by TheBusinessDesk.com in partnership with Deloitte and Edgbaston Park Hotel, celebrate businesses that are driving permanent and positive environmental change. It’s an honour to be recognised among a group of organisations committed to reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and embedding sustainability at the heart of their operations.

These particular awards focused on our progress in the Midlands, with special recognition for our continued investment in sustainable manufacturing — notably at Atlas, our pathfinder factory. Atlas represents a major step forward in sustainable innovation, showcasing our commitment to transforming the way we manufacture with lower environmental impact.

The judges were looking for evidence of long-term change, meaningful impact, and a culture of environmental responsibility — all values we strive to live every day. Winning the overall award, as well as the investment category, reinforces that our sustainability strategy is not just ambitious but making a real difference.
